Chapter 513 Your Finger Is Magical (2)
Shen Yuechuan puckered his lips and wore a mysterious smile.
He didn’t say anything. Instead, he just lifted the cup to President Liu and then finished the wine.
“Oh—”
Not only President Liu, all the people on the table understood what he meant—Shen Yuechuan admitted it! Xiao Yunyun was definitely his!
President Liu was always appreciative of Shen Yuechuan and happily patted his shoulder, “You have a pretty good taste! But this girl doesn’t look like the other girls you have dated before. You used to like those hot spicy girls. Since when do you have a favor for freshness?”
Shen Yuechuan helplessly unfolded his hands. “In others’ words, it should be called as—my karma.”
The Shen Yuechuan whom President Liu was familiar with was skillful at the negotiating table and casual in relationships. He had never put on such helpless but willing expression.
What was worse was that Shen Yuechuan didn’t seem to feel anything wrong with it.
This was love.
As a senior, President Liu suddenly felt troubled. He patted Shen Yuechuan’s shoulder again. “Yuechuan, you should cherish finding the right person. There is nothing destined to be yours... If you don’t cherish the chance, she will belong to someone else. You have been messing around... Oh, no, you have been casual for so many years before your fateful ‘karma’ came to you. It’s not easy.”
Shen Yuechuan revealed an expression of agreement and silently toasted with President Liu.
After his talk with President Liu, which was so catchy, the people at the table looked at Xiao Yunyun in a different way.
It was like as if there were an invisible label on Xiao Yunyun which said she belonged to Shen Yuechuan. Not to mention taking the wine for her, it seemed reasonable for him to stop anything from her.
Luo Xiaoxi praised Shen Yuechuan greatly with admiration in her heart.
Faced with a difficult question, Shen Yuechuan secretly led the man to the right answer. He not only protected Xiao Yunyun in the right way, but also left enough space for their future—
He actually said nothing about his relationship with her. It was all imagined by President Liu.
Even if he and Xiao Yunyun didn’t end up together, he could answer him with “President Liu is too good at imagining,” which wouldn’t disgrace Xiao Yunyun or him.
He had been taught by Lu Boyan, indeed!
Xiao Yunyun had a different opinion from what Luo Xiaoxi thought.
Xiao Yunyun was afraid that Shen Yuechuan would admit about their relationship in a joking way. She was even more afraid that he would just deny it directly.
But the result was that Shen Yuechuan neither admit it nor denied it.
Shen Yuechuan might not want to get involved with her but he didn’t want to embarrass her at the same time. So he explained it ambiguously and let President Liu imagine the rest.
Thus, he not only took the wine for her but was not necessarily responsible for his words.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad.
But no matter what, Shen Yuechuan was considerate to her.
Thinking of it, Xiao Yunyun smiled and ignored all the curious eyes, pretending that she didn’t understand.
When walking to the next table, Xiao Yunyun quickly walked to Shen Yuechuan and said, “Thank you.”
Shen Yuechuan lifted his eyebrows. “Now you know why I asked you to follow me?”
“Yes!” Xiao Yunyun nodded and the words just rushed out, “Master, I decide to follow you from now on!”
It sounded so sweet.
Shen Yuechuan smiled with satisfaction. “It’s really rare for you to make the right decision.”
Xiao Yunyun felt that Shen Yuechuan might have misunderstood. “Actually, I mean...”
“There is no need to explain.” Shen Yuechuan touched Xiao Yunyun’s head. “I will agree to let you follow me for the rest of my life, okay?”
The rest of his life?
“No, I mean...”
Xiao Yunyun wanted to explain but Shen Yuechuan was already walking ahead. He obviously ignored her explanation on purpose.
“Damn it!”
Xiao Yunyun had to catch up with him angrily and quietly swore to herself that she would never speak to Shen Yuechuan so casually.
For the next few tables, Shen Yuechuan drank the wine for Xiao Yunyun.
Shen Yuechuan wasn’t feeling comfortable at the beginning and the excess wine added to his uneasy feeling. But after so many years in the business field with Lu Boyan, he had already learned how to cover it up.
No matter what his condition was, he could pretend as if nothing was wrong to keep the opponent from winning the chance.
After the last glass, Shen Yuechuan heaved a long sigh and shivered a bit.
Xiao Yunyun subconsciously held him. “Are you alright?” Her tone showed her worries.
Shen Yuechuan smiled and looked at Xiao Yunyun, “This time I’m really dizzy.”
It would be strange if he wasn’t after drinking so much wine!
Xiao Yunyun supported him. “Let me take you to my room so you can rest.”
Shen Yuechuan glanced through the whole hall and said, “Hundreds of people are watching. Is it okay for us to go to the room... while so many eyes are looking?”
“I mean taking you there to have a rest!” Xiao Yunyun stared at Shen Yuechuan. “Take those dirty thoughts off your mind and stomp on them!”
Shen Yuechuan lifted his eyebrows. “People may not see it as clear-cut as you...”
“...” Xiao Yunyun speechlessly observed Shen Yuechuan for a while. “Now that you still have those nasty thoughts, your condition can’t be too bad,” then she pushed Shen Yuechuan away and said, “I’ll find something to eat and you can go to anywhere you want to!”
Shen Yuechuan didn’t go anywhere else. He just followed Xiao Yunyun with a smile.
Xiao Yunyun hadn’t eaten much for breakfast and had been busy for the whole morning. She was famished at the moment. She walked to the table of the best men and bridesmaids and stretched her hand to help herself to the great feast.
The dishes were ordered by Luo Xiaoxi too. Except for the cooks in the hotel, Luo Xiaoxi invited foreign cooks and a cook who specialized in pastries from a five-star hotel abroad. Each of them were famous in the gastronomic field and could make sure that everyone would enjoy flavors that they would remember forever.
Xiao Yunyun’s hand grabbed some cream cheese baked lobster. But before she could enjoy it, the best man sat by her suddenly stood up, “Yuechuan? Come here and have a seat!”
Xiao Yunyun looked over and saw Shen Yuechuan sitting beside her. The best man who had been on that seat switched to another empty seat.
Everyone else on the table looked like they knew about it but they wouldn’t say.
“What on earth?”
Xiao Yunyun was crying inside when Shen Yuechuan intentionally placed a lobster on the plate in front of her. “Aren’t you hungry? Stop looking and eat.”
A maid of honor lifted her chin and said coquettishly, “Brother Yuechuan, I’m also hungry.”
Shen Yuechuan took a look at that girl and said, “Well, I’m not hungry.”
Everyone else started a fuss right away, “Look! You treat Yunyun and us differently. Either you like her, or you want something from her!”
Xiao Yunyun thought Shen Yuechuan had made them start the fuss on purpose, but it wasn’t a problem to her!
Xiao Yunyun lifted her hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet. “Do you want to know the reason?”
“There is no need for you to tell us. We already know,” a bridesmaid said smilingly, “You and Brother Yuechuan—”
“There is nothing between us!” Xiao Yunyun interrupted her, “The reason why your Brother Yuechuan is nice to me is that I’m the female cousin of his boss’ wife. If he dares to make me unhappy, I will ask my cousin-in-law to fire him!”
“Then you can ask your cousin-in-law to arrange him with a new job, which is to be your boyfriend?” Someone wisely added.
All of a sudden, the whole table burst into laughter.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t expect it to develop like this. She had thought the proper words to explain. But compared with the laughter, her rebuttal would pale in comparison; it would be useless and it might make things even worse.
At last, Xiao Yunyun gave up on refuting and couldn’t stop the flush on her cheeks.
Seeing the situation, Shen Yuechuan was not that uneasy and he even became even happier.
He leaned over and gave Xiao Yunyun a tip, “They are fierce and experienced either in the entertaining field or the business field, so they are rough to deal with. If you don’t want to be their topic anymore, just eat.”
This time, Xiao Yunyun followed Shen Yuechuan’s words without hesitation and ate the lobster which was as red as her face.
At the moment, only food could cure her injured heart.
The table was full of young people and the atmosphere was great. So they soon got enough of the food and proposed to play a game. They dragged Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi in too.
The minute Luo Xiaoxi arrived, she said, “I don’t care about what game you want to play or what rules you have made. I have only one request—I don’t want to drink anymore!”
Although there were best men and maids of honor coming to their aid, Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng had inevitably drunk a lot. If they drank a bit more, they wouldn’t be able to play.
“Drinking would be meaningless,” someone said, “Well, the rule should be simple and exciting. When anyone loses, he or she has to choose from Truth or Dare.”
“No problem!” Luo Xiaoxi pulled Su Yicheng to sit down and looked excited. “What game are we going to play? Let’s discuss it!”
Everyone else was busy discussing what they were going to play while Xiao Yunyun kept moving to the bottom of the desk.
She could move downwards and then slip away. Then nobody would notice that she had escaped.
Yes, she escaped.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t find that the rule of Truth or Dare was prepared for her and Shen Yuechuan. Several pairs of eyes were already fixed on her.
So the minute she made a move, somebody uttered, “Yunyun, what are you doing under the table? Have you lost anything?”
Xiao Yunyun sat back with a dry smile, “No, nope, the strap of the shoe just fell...”
By then, they already decided what to play.
Shen Yuechuan glanced at Xiao Yunyun and knocked on the table, “Then it’s settled. We can use the app of Haozi’s company to play with dice.”
Xiao Yunyun quietly lifted her hand up, “I don’t know how to play it. Can I ask my cousin-in-law to play it for me?”
“Girl, are you kidding me?” someone smiled miserably and said, “Your cousin’s invisible power is enough to calm down the place. If your cousin-in-law comes too, we will be crushed, okay? Who would dare to play then? We will all have to kneel down and admit defeat to him!”
“...” Xiao Yunyun failed to smile—It seemed that it wasn’t such a great thing to have an incredibly competent cousin-in-law.
“Then, ” Su Yicheng said, “You can play. I will host for you.”
Xiao Yunyun was confused. “The game needs a host?”
Su Yicheng didn’t want to explain so he said, “Yuechuan, you advised Haozi to develop the application. You should be the one to explain.”
Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan with confusion—
Shen Yuechuan coughed and organized a simple explanation, “We designed an app to replace the dice and its container. After shaking the cellphone, only the owner of the phone can see the number. The only bug is that it’s easy to cheat in it—after an extra shake of your phone, the number would change.”
Xiao Yunyun soon understood. “So, you need a host who can write everyone’s numbers, making it useless for them to shake the phone again.”
Shen Yuechuan gave Xiao Yunyun a favorable look. “You’re very smart!”
Xiao Yunyun shrugged and said, “But I still don’t know the rules.”
